Rove's Justice Department
Word continues to get out about how Rove's White House operation attempted to damage or derail Democrats before and during elections, using the Justice Department as its tool. The latest evidence comes from a Rethug political operative, who says that an investigation of former Democratic Governor Don Siegelman of Alabama was accelerated by the U.S. attorney's office at the White House's insistence. The heat was turned up on Gov. Siegelman after a meeting of the prosecutors with Rove's office, and right before his reelection bid. If anyone thinks the Bush Assministration wasn't trying to subvert the electoral process (remind you of Florida in 2000?), there's a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.
